again, you're missing the rule of law in the application of eminent domain.

In Connecticut, they took the land just to give it to some "rich" dude with big ideas...

In Arlington, the people of Arlington voted and decided the government needed to create a government owned and controlled sports arena to benefit the people of Arlington.

Let me give you a point of reference. This country's politicians already have to power to take from you, and are currently taking from you, almost anything they want, and give it to anyone they want to. Land was the last shirt on our backs that a politician cannot take from us and give it to someone else who might vote for them.

As I've said many times, to some people you are rich with your three degrees driving around a BMW. How would you feel if these same politicians you are supporting at taking away my land and giving it to you for a new mall, decided you didn't "need" your BMW and would give it to me because I voted for them? Or decided your one degree is enough and took the rest of your college money and gave it to me for my first degree?

Why you have not been able to understand that analogy over the years, is the reason for me, right and wrong is based upon the letter of the law, and your right and wrong depends largely upon "who" you are. You just repeated it in your post...
